I disagree there. I've felt that there was more racial tension the farther north I go. I think here in the South you can say that we have gotten use to each other. While up north were you have less minorities they still collide.

For example one of my good friends is black. He goes to Georgia Southern and is friends with 2 of the most redneck tobacco chewing country boys that are from the middle of nowhere South Georgia. And in that gruop of friends consists a rich preppy frat boy and a white boy who wishes he was black and talks more gangster than Tupac. We all get along too.

Now we do make racial jokes at each other but it's like your friends laying a "Mamma" joke on you. You know they mean nothing by it but are wanting to yank your chain.

And by the way. Usually the ones who see a white girl with a black guy and make comments about them are usually the ones with the John Deere stickers on the back of their 2008 fully loaded Chevy pick up truck with $10k in lift mods and 10k in stereo equipment and try to be Redneck(Despite they live in Sandy Springs, Grayson, Alpharetta, Duluth, and drive a $50k truck) and talk about how they hate "The Nword". While they listen to Gangster rap and would jump Ciara if they had half a chance.

But I am completely opposed to any "Hate Crime" laws and feel they are wrong. I don't care how many times the white guy beating you yells the Nword at you. They should be in trouble for beating you down and not what they were thinking at the time.
